Gaining knowledge on how to effectively set up and manage databases within the Microsoft Access programme can be useful in many work environments.
Those working in Data Entry for example would need a good working knowledge of this system. If you work as a Personal Assistant (PA) it's a good tool to help manage large amounts of data or utilise as a way to extract information from a large data set. Similarly Project Managers might find this a good tool to keep track of client contact information or essential project information and again, be able to extract information to assess.

After your Access training, progression through other Microsoft Office training courses could lead to a full Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) qualification a leading IT certification known globally. Holding this certification can be handy if you want to gain a role as a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant (EA), Office Manager or Operations Manager for example.
